"The Jedi are inappropriate mascots for social justice. Although
they´re ostensibly heroes within the Star Wars universe, the Jedi
are inappropriate symbols for justice work. They are a religious
order of intergalactic police-monks, prone to (white) saviorism
How are they white saviors when most of them aren't even human, and of
the humans, plenty of them are non-white?
Is this like the African-American Vulcan nonsense on STAR TREK?
You remember that too? The wounded woke screaming that of course there are >African-American Volans, and Native American Vulcans, and Asian American >Volans.
I don't see the point of making African-American or Asian-American Vorlons when they always wore those encounter suits around other races.
